My Dream Product Exists!

I have a pair of Munoz Vrandaecics, and they are tearing me apart.

What are Munoz Vrandecics? At first glance you might believe I am suffereing from a rare eastern European disease. And you wouldn't be that wrong. Munoz Vrandecic is a shoe, furniture and bag label from Barcelona, Spain. Munoz, according to what may be misinformation dug up on the web, is an engraver who teaches college, and Vrandecic is his wife, an artist. Together they make a very limited number of shoes, bags, jewelry and furniture. The shoes are made by hand, of wood and leather with brass nails. They are basically works of art, and supposedly become more beautiful as you wear them.

I got mine about three years ago, at a Jeffrey sale, when they were marked down a lot. I believed, when I met them, that I had found a true sole mate (I am so sorry about that, I couldn't help it.) But it was not to be. I wore them exactly once, before relagating them to the bin under my bed. You know the story, girl meets shoe, girl loves shoe, girl buys shoe, shoe hurts girl. They had hurt me, hurt me bad, and like a spurned lover, I cast them aside. For, dear reader, they had given me the worst blisters I had ever had in my entire life, and as a flat footed person, I know blisters. They tore a hole in the top of my foot, and ripped my ankles to shreds. For a week I could only wear my Vans, with socks, which sucks in the middle of summer!

I get blisters a lot. Which sucks, because I get blisters and then I can barely wear ANY shoes, much less new shoes, or loved shoes. I've tried the socks around the house thing, and you know what? I still get blisters. But no more. The genius' (!!!) at Band Aid have invented my dream product.

Are you ready for it? Band Aid Blister Block is a little deodorant like stick that you apply to the areas where your shoes rub. You then put your shoes on, and walk. Viola, no blisters. I have been wearing my Munoz Vrandecics all day, and it ACTUALLY WORKS. I was skeptical, believe me, I was. But I am now devoted. My summer just got so much better.

So you've learned two things here today. One, Munoz Vrandecics are cool shoes, and two, Blister Block exists!
